What I love the most about this brush is it's ginormous thick handles and super high dense bristles, this baby really picks up powder without wasting any. I use this on my more expensive finishing face powders because loose bristle brushes are too messy. This brush is well made, great quality and I love that the new series has the number stamped right on the hardware as well as the handle. They are about seven to eight inches long in length and very comfortable with no bristle fall out at all and I love they are cruelty free! #47 is the bottom one in the top photo of all three together, the other is #56 and the big #61q
